Oh, and for the record, I don't think there's anything wrong with 2E. It was about 1000% more fun than any game of 3E I've ever seen or played. I just happen to think AD&D is better. 4E? It has big shoes to fill (they just don't belong to 3E).

It's very easy, IMO, to manipulate the 4E system. For instance, you could make three Classes, each focused on one of the Power sources. A Divine class, a Martial class, and an Arcane class. Bonuses to defenses and starting proficiencies are based off a modified Race list, and not from a Class at...

Yep. Drow in 1E had TWF and Rangers didn't. When 2E came around, the fact that Drizzt was a Ranger gave enough excuse for Rangers to be given the ability after the fact, so that other people playing Rangers could be more like him. Nothing wrong with that, IMO. But it's a poor reason to restrict...

Thanks! I didn't know about Two Weapon Flurry. That would just about cover it for a bit of mechanics to back up the flavor and is enough to satisfy me. Though I'm still hoping a few more TWF options and/or Encounter powers are added for the Rogue in the Martial book. When you get the chance to...

Thanks for the replies, guys. You all make some good points. As I said before, I really like the two feats for TWF that have been mentioned. They're great, IMO. The option to actually attack with both weapons just seemed like a cool thing that a Rogue, wielding two small weapons like daggers...

Has the code been written (Sunday was the date, I think) to remove it for paying members/supporters? Just thought I'd ask, as it's still showing up for me in Stealth mode.

I've heard now, in several places, that the Ranger is the only Class to get a Two Weapon Fighting ability, as in a at-will Power that allows an attack with two weapons, not the supposed feats which add to AC (though I LIKE those feats). Is this truly the case? Let me first say that I'm very...

Ah, thanks! That's what I wanted to know.

Magical weapons seem to deal bonus damage on a crit, such as +1d10 per enhancement bonus (so a +3 longsword would do +3d10 on a crit). Is this extra damage rolled or is it maximized like any other damage done on a crit? Do you do max damage and then roll the extra 1d10s, or do you just add 10...

The guy who leaked the pdfs is a jerk for the simple fact that he violated the trust placed in him. Whether it turns out to be good for WotC or not isn't even a factor for consideration; it would just mean that there was no damage caused. If you violate someone's trust then you're a jerk, IMO...

I'm sorry this happened, Scott, as it has to color what would otherwise be a very exciting week before launch. I don't think that the book sales will be impacted too much by this, though, and hopefully the figures that come in later will support that. I hope you guys can catch the thief. Other...

Yeah. While, in practice, it usually doesn't matter selecting Free shipping is supposed to add an extra 3 to 5 days of processing time to the order so that it's shipped later than any of the other methods. From HERE I chose Standard shipping with Amazon and it's shown a ship date of the 6th...

I demand a Feat for Spiked Hair. DEMAND.

Bleh. When the PCs want to Raise Dead I'm just going to force them to GO GET HIM in the Shadowfell. Before his soul fades away or is lost. I have maps drawn up (well, smallish map ideas mostly) for the first 3 deaths, as well as some encounter ideas. Make them go get the sucker. :) After that...

Most of the things that people wish the Wizard could still do (illusions, for instance) are now Rituals. So the Wizard can still do them. They're just not things that are done during combat so that combat can be better balanced. So, brainstorm away at how to best use the spells to your...

I liked the change because it added an element of risk (note that, as has been said, the chances of anyone dying from the ritual are amazingly rare) AND because it relied on the character's Heal check. It gives someone with a good Heal skill the satisfaction of using it while also causing those...

There's a limit on how many times you can access a Healing Surge per encounter.

In combat, WITH the PCs, the dragon is fully balanced. He has his Presence, his Aura, his Breath, his Claws, and the Tail and Wings, depending, as well as 2 Action Points. That's enough for the PCs to share and have seconds. If you're looking for more complicated options, such as things the...

Thanks, amigo. :) I can go back to Stealthing enworld at work, then. Though I think my subscription expired yesterday, as I suddenly couldn't Search. I'll have to renew it again when I get paid. I thought it was longer, can't recall. Either way, thanks for the option. The ad only is a concern...

I can't resist. :) Does anyone who now has the books know the answer to the succubus argument from a while back? The one where we were wondering if those affected by her Kiss are aware that they're throwing themselves in front of her to block attacks and try to get the hell out of Dodge, or...
